Respondent: Friends of the Old Ford to Hunston Canal
We object to the limited scope of the statements in 7.194 and 7.195 given the opportunities that the former Portsmouth and Arundel Canal provides in terms of active leisure pursuits, historical interest, and wildlife, in line with the Council's policies set out elsewhere in the Preferred Approach consultation papers (see Wildlife Habitats (2.26), and Green Infrastructure 5.61 - 5.63, DM 32 and Policy S29).

Policy DM33: Canals
Representation ID: 1025
Received: 04/02/2019
Respondent: Friends of the Old Ford to Hunston Canal
We object to the poor ambition of the draft DM33 policy on Canals.
The Council should start from the goal of reinstating a continuous right of way along its section of the disused Portsmouth and Arundel Canal as part of a green corridor. The Council should encourage proposals which would seek to realign public footpaths as close to the original canal towpath as possible.
As demand for green space increases alongside housing developments, the Colworth to Hunston section of the Canal presents an opportunity for public authorities to meet their objectives to enhance the potential for outdoor leisure activities.
